There’s usually a dichotomy in any leftist issue -
the deceivers and the deceived. They have different motivations.
The deceivers seek power and use the deceived to achieve that power.
The deceived seek self-righteousness, the “I’m a good person” buzz, and are willingly deceived into believing that they are good people for supporting X cause.
The deceived are also angry because the rest of us refuse to drink the Koolaid.
Very nice MrB...
